​
Family Lives On Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that serves grieving children, teens and families nationally. We support children and teens whose mother, or father, has died. The Tradition Program enables them to celebrate traditions or continue activities they used to do with their mom or dad. Subject to program guidelines, Family Lives On arranges and pays for the entire tradition request for each child annually until the child turns 18. Only the request children and family members participate in the tradition.
The criteria for children/teens to be eligible for Family Lives On's free services include:
-They are between the ages of 3 and 18.
-Their mothers or fathers have died.
-They live in the United States of America.
-Their families must directly request Family Lives On's support.
After Family Lives On receives an enrollment form from a family, two trained volunteers conduct a Skype "Family Meeting" with the children and surviving parent or guardian to discuss traditions that the child shared with his or her deceased parent. This process not only conveys to the family the value of remembering, but also helps the child/teen to choose a tradition that he wants to continue.

To enroll, please go to our website to our Enrollment-Form or for more information.

Funeral or Cremation Assistance

http://skylersgift.org/programs/apply-for-funeral-or-cremation-assistance/
​
Skyler’s Gift Foundation started by Tiffany and Stephen Bowen to provide financial support to families in need that have lost their newborn infants from complications of premature birth. They believe no one should have to face this loss alone and especially without the needed resources in place
For those born at 24 weeks like Tiffany and Stephen Bowens’s twin boys, Stephen and Skyler, there is only a 39% chance of survival. Most infants born prior to 24 weeks have little to no chance of survival even with modern medical technologies. While many services are in place for families during hospitals stays in the NICU, after a loss the support is no longer there. That’s where Skyler’s Gift steps in. Skyler’s Gift raises funds to support families in need and also supports ongoing research to prevent premature births and deaths and raise awareness of this very personal issue.
Skyler’s Gift’s primary goal is to help as many families as possible in this most difficult time of their life. In order to do this and maximize how many families receive assistance we rely on accurate financial information from applicants. Completion of our application, available on our website, does not guarantee financial assistance. You will be notified within 48 hours if approved for assistance. Skyler’s Gift Foundation will help with the cost of funeral and burial or crematory cost up to $1000.
-Skyler’s Gift does not send payment directly to any applicants. All payments go to the funeral home and/or cemetery.
-Skyler’s Gift does not review incomplete applications. All required information and material including proof of finances, the funeral home and/or cemetery quotation, and proof of residence must be submitted before we can provide a decision.
-If you would like to fax any of the requested documentation the fax number is 202-318-8547.
